I am trying to mount a windows share folder that is on the local network on the windows ubuntu terminal The command is:
sudo mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.x.xxx/foldername /mnt/x -o user=username
But I have:
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system mount error(19): No such device
What can I do to mount my ubuntu terminal to my local windows share folder ?

I got it working with Microsoft's drvfs provider, as described in: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsl/2017/04/18/file-system-improvements-to-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux/
sudo mount -t drvfs '\\server\share' /mnt/share
Leave out the -o option with credentials, as it grabs those from Windows.
